Bug

Operating system: Windows 11 Game version: 2.12 CET version: 1.31.2 GPU: GTX 1060 TI

Description

Windows Defender flaged cyber_engine_tweaks.dll as a trojen.Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml specifically.

Expected behaviour

To not get a virus? I think this is a given?

Reproduction

Scan cyber_engine_tweaks.dll with a virus scanner.... ApplicationFrameHost_Q1uKBvKOF5

False alarm. It's a good practice to always use Google before you write or say something new. This helps avoid spreading false information or, at least, may ensure correct spelling/pronunciation.

Yeah. False alarm, but still an issue. People trust anti-virus software over random things they download. Even if it's open source. There are ways of programming things that don't set off anti-virus alerts. Hence the dev removing the piggyback hook with red4ext which caused the alert. And don't get me started on grammer policing.
